Sprint 3 – Cooking with matches!

This sprint has been a little… fucky.  The winter has hit my mood hard and I struggled for the first week to focus. Stepping away, sleeping, working out – none of it worked. So it’s been a bit of a struggle. I almost booked a trip to the canaries just to get some of that
